Sure, opposites attract, but you still need to find some common ground with the person you’re dating. It hurts to realize that your significant other might be nowhere near as intelligent as you are. And for many people, that’s a deal-breaker, and they decide to end the relationship.
Internet users took to a brutally honest online thread to spill the tea about all the bizarre, spicy, and ridiculously cringey things their partners did that revealed that they were beyond dumb. We hope you’re ready for a big taste of secondhand embarrassment because their stories hit hard.

I used to be a dog groomer and my ex flew off the handle because I got a movie theater gift card as a Christmas gift from a client, addressed from the dog. He grabbed my wrist and spat out "WHO THE [HELL] IS LUKE????" Luke. The DOG.

When he recorded his encounter with a woman on MY phone. Had another woman ringing my doorbell at 2am every other night. Had a different woman calling his phone under a name he thought wasn’t suspicious.. I wish I was joking. All while I am very pregnant. Let him run around thinking I was unaware/believing his lies while I planned my successful escape.

Said he didn’t think depression was real. That actually grinded my gears, after seeing how upset I was he said he meant that he doesn’t think he’d ever be depressed.

When he almost burned his apartment down making popcorn because he put 10 minutes instead of 1 min & the bag burned to a crisp and smoke detector went off as soon as I opened the door for it to stop before time finished. Then he crashed out saying I didn’t explain to him how to do It & how it was my fault…

We had flown from WI to Vegas together. He was so pissed that his digital boarding pass for the flight home was wrong. He doubled-down that the time we would arrive back in WI was "impossible." I had to explain time zones to a 45 year old software engineer. The SAME timezones we flew through just 5 days prior. He still didn't believe me and insisted his boarding pass was wrong.

He had logged into his Gmail on my computer.
Went to reactivate his Grindr profile. I got a pop up notification on my desktop with the 2FA code.
He confessed the next day crying about it and I just said "oh I know".
This was many years ago. We're still friends but it's one of the funniest things that's ever happened to me.

Ex partner. He yelled at me because I used the high ceiling kitchen lights. He said that when they run out because he wasn’t tall enough to reach them we wouldn't be able to do anything about them.
